Question

very confused. could I be pregnant? please help

Share

I was off birth control for 3 months,I decided to go back on my pill but missed 3days of pills which lead to me starting my period on august11th it lasted until august 17th(after I started my period I gave up on taking my pill & haven?t since)On sept.12th I had unprotected sex.This is where I start to get confused, I was on another website checking to see when I ovulate to make sure I didn?t have sex during that time. The website told me that not only was I not ovulating but I should have already gotten my period by now ( I have never really had any problems with my period, never missed or been late)So I took a pregnancy test on sept.16th and it came up negative( I thought to take the test because I?ve been VERY stressed lately and thought maybe I didn?t start ovulating until later in the month)could this be true?If so could I be pregnant?and could the test be wrong?I usually get bad cramps about 2 days before my period, I have yet to get any signs of my period & today is sept18th HELP

You probably are not pregnant. The home pregnancy tests are very accurate. I had missed pills before and it does mess with your cycle big time. I stopped taking them one month and totally missed the next period, thought I was pregnant but wasn't. Plus, you usually ovulate about 15 days after the first day of your period. I hope this helps a bit.

the Pill has hormones in it. It might be messing with your cycle. I would do an at home test if you still arent reassured. Give it another week after you take the test if it is negative. Im sorry, but waiting is the only way youll find out for sure.
